Item 5.02. Departure of Directors or Principal Officers; Election of Directors;
Appointment of Principal Officers.
On April 19, 2006 the Board of Directors of The Scotts Miracle-Gro Company (the “Registrant”)
accepted the resignation of Mindy F. Grossman from the Registrant’s Board of Directors. On April
17, 2006, Ms. Grossman accepted the position as Chief Executive Officer of IAC Retailing. In this
role, Ms. Grossman will oversee HSN, Cornerstone Brands, Shoebuy and IAC’s international retailing
operations. Cornerstone Brands also includes Frontgate, a direct
